SPEAK THY THOUGHT.
BY CHARLES MACKAy.

Shame upon thee, craven spirit
Is it manly, just or brave,
If truth have shown within thee,
10 conceal the light it gave?
Captive of the worlds opinion
Free to speak, but yet slave
All conviction should be valiant;
Tell thy truth if truth it be;
Never seek to stem its current
Thoughts, like rivers, find the sea;
II will fit the widening circle
OF eternal verify.
Speak thy thought, if thou believ'st it,
Let it jostle whom it may,
Zen although the foolish sCorn it,
Or the obstinate gainsay-
Every seed that grows tomorrow
Lies beneath the clod to, day.
If our sires. the noble hearted
Pioneers of things to come,
Had, like the. been weak and timid,
Traitors to themselves, and dumb,
Where would he our present knowledge
Where the hoped millennium?
Where would the triumphant science,
Searching with her fearless eyes,
Through the infinite creation
For the soul that underlles--
Soul of beauty, soul of goodness,
Wisdom of the earth and skics2
Where would be all great inventions,
Each from bygone fancies born,
Issued first in doubt and darkness,
Launched mid apathy and scorn?
How could noontime ever light us,
But for dawning of the morn?
Where would be our free opinion,
Where the right to speak at all,
If onr sires, like thee, mistrnstful,
Had been deaf to duty's call,
And concealed the thoughts within them,
Lying down for fear to fall:
Though an honest thought outspoken,
Lead thee into chains or DEATH
What is life compared with virtue!
Shalt thou not survive thy breath
Hank The future age invites thee
Listen! Trrmbler, what it saith
1t demands thy thought in justice.
Debt, not tribute from the free;
Have not ages, long departed,
Groaned, and toiled and bled for thee
If the past has lent thee wisdom,
Pay it to futurity.
Workmen's advocate. (New Haven, Conn.) 1883-1891, 1887-08-27
PROPORTIONAL REPRESENT +
ALTON.
A Good Way to Prevent Injustice in
Administration.

Alfred Cridge, in the San Fran
cisco People, presents set OF rules
for the election Of directors. trustees,
executive boards, etc, which might
be studied aud practiced with good
results by labor organizations. In
presenting the plan, he says: 81
regret not being able to make it
shorter and simpler in appearance,
knowing it to be perfectly simple in
wacfice, as | could at any suitable
opportunity excmplify."
The following rules were evidently
made for cooperative company,
but the simple change of the titles
of officers and members, with per-
haps slight modification to suit any
gwen organization, could easily be
made:
RULES FOR VOTING.
The business of the Company shall be
managed by a Board of - Directors,
whose term of Office shall expire on
-. when an election shall be held
by the Company and a Board OF -
Directors, to serve for -- years, or
until a new election is ordered shall be
elected as follows:
SECTION l. Each shareholder shall
have one vote for one candidate as first
choice. with not to exceed nine alter
mates Immediately following on the
ticket, in the order of the voters prefer
ence.
SECTION 2. In the counting of ballots,
upon any candidate receiving as first
choice number of votes equal to or
greater than the whole number of votes
cast divided by the number of directors
to he chosen, he shall be declared elected,
this number required to elect beng des-
ignated "quota." And all ballots sub
seuuently counted having that candl-
dates name at the head shall be counted
for the alternate next in succession on
the belIot: and when that alternate is
elected. all votes subsequently counted
ON which his name appears as second
choice the first choice having been pre-
yiously elected shall be counted for the
third ON the list; and So on. If necessary,
until all the alternates on that particular
ballot shall have been exhausted; and
whenever, by means of such transferred
or alternate votes, any candidate shall he
found to have received said quota, he
shall be declared elected, and no more
votes shall he cast for him.
SECTION 3. In case, after all of the
ballots shall have been thus counted, the
requisite number of Directors to he
elected have not received quotas. the re
manning number shall be secured as fol
lows:
The name of the candidate receiving
the least number of votes as first choice
shall be stricken from the list, and the

Personal Anecdotes mt Dinner.

Personal anecdotes are constantly told
and expected ut tho dinner party, and
nothing more surely casts damper over
a festive occasion than the introduc-
ton Of a choice anecdote touching some
person whom some guest feels the in
clination or duty to defend. 1t is neces-
sary also to know, before relating the
deliciously funny tale Of the millionaire
who married his cook, that the father OF
none OF the company has made q similar
mesalliance, and one hardly gains appro-
baton in citing the case Of the woman
who eloped with her footman when the
sister Of his right hand neighbor has been
guilty Of mistake Of the same kind.
IL is needful also to acquire well
selected stock of anecdotes, bon mots, and
clever reflections, to add TO it constantly, to
learn 10 introduce them deity and with
out apparent effort to ten them well, and
to adapt them to the particular company
for whose benefit they are uttered. In
fact, in order TO be a successful diner out,
one must be possessed Of tact, patience,
polish; he must he flexible, keen and
adaptable; he must know all gastronomic
lore, be able 10 discover the point Of a
dinner upon which the host prides him
self, and know how TO show his knowl-
edge cleverly and ogreeably.-Pioneer
Press
